- Smart deployment of solar energy by trading on energy imbalance market
Electroproject helped battery supplier Indutecc Renewable Solutions realise smart and sustainable battery storage in KPN's telephone exchange in Amersfoort. The new batteries are now not only used as a back-up in case of power cuts, but also store or supply green electricity to the energy imbalance market via solar panels.
For the pilot, Electroproject created an easy-to-install test rig in a container, even though Nilar's NiMH batteries do not require additional fireproofing measures - which do apply to Li-ion batteries. In doing so, Electroproject thought along about ways to further fine-tune the solution so that the batteries are actually used at green times. Together with Indutecc and Electroproject, KPN is now looking at ways to expand the solution and eventually install it indoors in more data centres.
